This person is a fraud. Everyone of us close to this (No I can't tell you who I work for) knew from day one the Family sharing system included full games not demos. Eventhough the public pushed back on game disk don't be suprised if you see the Family Sharing system implemented for digital downloaded games anyway. If you have half a brain think for 30 seconds. Why in hell would there be a system put in place where you have to be a member on a family list for 30 days just to play a timed demo and only one family member at a time can play it??? Every game including AAA titles will include a demo from day one anyone can play even people that don't belong to a family list in the first place. The post is bullshit designed to bring controversy to a great idea.

In the end I blame MS for failing to explain why the DRM was put in place and how the Family Sharing system would work from day one. They did a horible job...

That's what family share would be even if it was going to work as people claim (i.e. full access). I would not trade the freedom of being able to lend, swap or sell my games discs to ANYONE in the world for 10 pre-selected people being able to play my games on the fly. The extra convenience is not an acceptable trade off,to me, for the loss in freedom. 

Also MS is just being petulant and pissy for not affirming that they're retaining it from day 1 for games purchased through XBL.

Seems to me like family share was a bit of an afterthought, because you normally lead off with the new and exciting feature to get people all hyped, then tell them the trade off that's required for that feature. Some people would have been sucked in by the tactic of being given the good news first, but many still wouldn't have bought taken the bait. But MS probably would have gotten away with it, just.
